‘World champion of what?’: The Noah Lyles-NBA players beef explainedParis — Noah Lyles is a charismatic, boisterous athlete who is not afraid to say what’s on his mind in his effort to push track and field’s profile higher in the sporting world. World champion of what? Don’t get me wrong, I love the US – at times – but that ain’t the world,” Lyles said. Four-time NBA champion Draymond Green also got involved, writing on Instagram, “When being smart goes wrong” with the face-palm emoji. So if Lyles ends up winning the 100m-200m double, don’t expect very many American NBA players to be celebrating publicly.
